Had an odd dream last night. Kinda worried. Help?

Hey basically I'm just wondering does anyone know what this means. I'm a bit sceptic when it comes to dream interpretation but this dream I had really made an impression on me and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it.

Basically it started with me bringing my newborn baby home from the hospital. Though I didn't give birth in the dream, the dream clearly stated that I did and was recovering from that but we were both happy and healthy. I was a single parent with no mention at all of another parent or a partner or anything like that. But my friends and family we're all very supportive and happy for me and excited over my baby. As was I. One of my brothers was particularly helpful.

Any I was settling into the first time parenthood and went to the supermarket to get food and necessary supplies. The baby was with me in the baby seat thing that’s on shopping trolleys and was as happy as Larry and I was in the frozen-food isle. I looked inside one of the fridges then left my wallet inside there, closed it and then started my mission to find doughnuts. I thought they'd be a good snack to have for both me (with the stress of a newborn) and any guest that would arrive to meet my baby. Funnily enough I don’t like doughnuts at all.

Anyway I couldn’t find any but while I was searching I kept thinking about my wallet with my cards and money in the freezer and worrying someone might take it but also I kept telling myself that it would be fine and not to think about it. I then got distracted by some cute onesies in the clothes section and was really tempted to buy some as they we’re cheep and nice but I debated over getting one that was newborn size or get it for an older baby because most of the gifts that I had been given we’re for a newborn.

I then went to my office and for some reason the baby wasn’t with me anymore though I didn’t notice. I was in the main room surrounded by all my colleges and friends telling them how the birth and being in hospital went and how amazing my baby was and how happy I was and how supportive my family has been and showing them photos. They we’re all really excited to meet the baby and we’re really ecstatic for me. Then I left and went walking towards my bus stop and one of my colleges who I’m close friends with walked me towards the stop.

We talked a bit more about the baby and how great everything was. All the clichéd stuff I suppose and then he invited me to come back later to go to some event the organisation was having. I got excited and wanted to go but I realised I’d have to get someone to mind the baby. I said I’d go but I lied to him said that it would be fine that my brother would look after it but I knew he might not be available as he has his own life. Then I clocked that wait the baby wasn’t with me and I’d left it at home and it was probably all by itself. I panicked and then I woke up.

I know crazy right? Also to put things into context I’m a 21 year old, single male. So not only are some of the things in the dream scientifically impossible (as in lacking a uterus lol) it’s just really random for me to dream this at all. I mean I’ve always said I’ve wanted kid, lots of them but not for years when I’m married and all that jazz. It’s something I don’t think about often either.

Also in the dream I wasn’t a woman or anything either, I was 100 percent me. Which is unusual for me to dream too. I wasn’t an idealised version of me or someone else or a protagonist you never see but see everything through their eyes. I was just plain old me. It was really real as well and had my real home, family, friends and everything in it too.

So any insight into any of this would be great thanks.

Hi, one possibility, the baby represents an Idea you wish to 'give birth to' wallet in the frezzer is anxiety about financing or risking money on this idea. support from your brother is plausable. An idea if it is business idea is something you might share with friends at work but is seperate from your current job- not having the baby with you there. Being the real you in the dream is plausble as having the baby is symbolic. The invitation to an event could represent a conflict of feelings between persuing the idea and the aspects of your job that you really like and would miss.
or I could be way off base.
Do you have some idea playing around in your head?
